Namaste.
Dark patches, PCOD, and difficulty losing weight indicate Kapha imbalance and insulin resistance.
Ayurvedic Chikitsa:
Internal Remedies:
Medohar Guggulu: 2 tablets thrice daily for weight management and reducing dark patches.
Manjistha Capsules: 1 capsule twice daily to purify the blood.
Chandraprabha Vati: 2 tablets twice daily for hormonal balance.
External Application:
Apply a paste of turmeric, sandalwood, and rose water on dark patches daily.
Use Kumkumadi Tailam on pimple marks and smile lines.
Diet (Ahara):
Avoid dairy, sugar, and fried foods. Opt for fresh vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
Drink warm water with lemon and honey in the morning.
Lifestyle (Vihara):
Practice Surya Namaskar and other Kapha-pacifying exercises like brisk walking.
Reduce stress with meditation and regular sleep routines.
Additional Tips:
Focus on a disciplined lifestyle and consult an Ayurvedic doctor for Panchakarma therapy, such as Virechana (Pitta detox).

Hey, dealing with that kind of stuff can be real bothersome, right? Let's dive into it. The dark patches you’re mentioning, sounds like Acanthosis Nigricans, which is often connected to insulin resistance, commonly seen with PCOD. First off, since you're working on your weight, that's good – 'cause reducing insulin resistance usually helps lighten those patches up.
With Ayurveda, balancing your doshas, especially reducing Kapha and Pitta, might help. Incorporate turmeric in your diet – you can have turmeric milk before bed – it is anti-inflammatory and helps with skin complexion. Also, my favorite, Triphala churna about half teaspoon at night with warm water, gently detoxifies your system and improves digestion.
For those dark patches, you can make a paste with chickpea flour, some turmeric, and a touch of milk and apply it on the dark areas once a week. Leave it for about 20 minutes before rinsing. It's not overnight magic, but regular use can help.
Pimple marks might improve with a face pack made of sandalwood and rose water, soothing for Pitta – just be patient, use it twice a week. Smile lines can be stubborn; keep your skin hydrated, maybe use aloe vera gel – fresh if you can, or make sure it's a pure product if buying it.
About the weight loss, it can be tough, no doubt. Small, consistent changes help. Begin your day with warm lemon water, aids digestion. Try to follow a structured eating schedule - avoid processed stuff and heavy meals late at night. Moderate exercise, even yoga for about 30 mins a day, does wonders. Don’t stress too much about immediate results; it's often a gradual process.
If any issues persist or worsen, do check in with a healthcare professional. And remember, everyone's body responds in its own time :)
